JOHN o. POPE, or YORKVILLE, ILLINOIS.

DOOR-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 367,318, dated July 26, 1887.

I Application filed March 24, 1887. Serial No. 232,3!4. (No model .l

To all wrtom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN C. POPE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yorkville, in the county of Kendall and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Door-Hangers, of which the following is a specification. Y

My invention is an improved door-hanger for sliding doors; .and'it consists in a certain novel construction hereinafter first fully de scribed, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the invention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section on the line 0000 of Fig. Fig. 3 represents a detail perspective view ofoneofthe hangers and attachments.

Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the doorframegof general rectangular shape and provided with the sill a and the upper longitudinal rail or beam, at, having throughout nearly its entire length the slot B, the portions of the rails I) [2011 each side thereof being of equal size and serving as tracks for the rollers, as will be readily understood. The rails b b are secured to, the door-frame by means of the brackets c.

D D designate my improved hangers. They comprise the longitudinal metal bars d,which rest" in the circumferential grooves f of the rollers F, which run on the rails b I). At their ends these bars (1 are each provided with the integral depending arms d d, which pass down ward through the slot B on opposite sides of the roller F.

E E designate clips secured to the upper edge of the'door and having their upper ends hinged to the lower ends of the arms d. The upper ends of the clips are bifurcated, forming the ears e e, which pass up on opposite sides ofthe lower ends of the arms (1, and a pivotpin is passed through said ears and arms, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

It is evident that the door, besidesits lateral sliding motion, can be turned up onits upper edge, the clips E turning upon the ends ofthe arms (I of the frames.

The lower edge ofthe door or gate rests upon the sill of the frame and strikes against the strip 9, secured to the sill, and prevents the door U from opening in the opposite direction.

The door is particularly applicable for use on barns or other buildings where it is often necessary to allow and promote a free circulation of air. The door can be propped open and will serve as a protection against rain at the entrance of the barn, while allowing air to cir- .culate therethrough to dry hay or for other purposes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim'- The improved door-hanger herein described and shown, comprising thelongitudinal metal bar (2, having the integral depending vertical arms (2' d at its ends, and the clips E, pivoted to the lower ends of the arms d d, substantially as specified.-

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN G. POPE.
